+Crew At Rest

An incomplete
listing

One of the purposes of
forming the USS James Madison Association is to honor our shipmates who sail
no more. These are the faces who appear only in our memories and no longer
in the flesh. They are the main characters in a story of freedom and
camaraderie and the occasional tale of a sailor on the town. They will be
missed and appreciated for who they were while amongst us and for who and
what they have left behind. To their honor and memory, we say:

Rest your oars, old
sailor
No more will you go to sea
Rest your oars, old sailor
This is where you're supposed to be.
